GA Pied Piper Grand Jury Led Astray?

Dershowitz opined Georgia’s Trump RICO indictment criminalizes “same tactics” used by Gore in 2000, but WSJ hits nail more firmly on the head by suggesting the pile on counts “make [DA’s] case … less credible,” if not unbelievable.


Opined the newspaper’s editorial board: “The fourth indictment of former President Donald Trump reads like an exercise at throwing everything at the jury to see what might stick. Fani Willis, the Democratic district attorney in Fulton County, Ga., has assembled a 98-page charge sheet with 41 counts & 19 defendants, yet little fresh evidence regarding Mr. Trump. The big news is the DA’s use of the state’s Racketeer Influenced & Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO. It treats Mr. Trump’s attempt to reverse the 2020 election as if it were a mafia operation rather than bumblers who controlled no election machinery in Georgia or anywhere else. The alleged behavior was rotten, but inflating it into a RICO conspiracy makes the case less credible, not more.”


There's another possible concern. Besides the obvious & disturbing trend of “unequal” treatment of political opponents by prosecutors around the nation, doesn’t the so-called “grand jury’s” apparent rubber stamp of this 98-page charge sheet suggest the grand jury system itself is a broken Pied Piper now, too often succumbing to political prosecutors’ own abuse of power?
